Guardianship Request

MHA’s 17-A Guardianship Program aids families with children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Orange County. There is a $300 fee for this service which will be payable to Mental Health Association in Orange County, Inc. at or before the initial meeting with the Guardianship Associate. The fee may be paid by cash, personal check, bank check or money order. The fee covers assistance for 12 months following the initial meeting. If you have not completed the process and need further assistance after 12 months, there will be an additional fee of $75.
